You are totally welcome here twojs, it is just that you have already decided for yourself that a Trek made Electra aluminum frame is high grade...It IS, for a regular pedal bicycle but the laws of physics dictate to me what I have just passed on to you.Dude. I never said I knew more than anyone. I came asking for help.
Maybe I am misreading your tone. I’m just asking questions and communicating.
Let me know if I’m not welcome.
My local bicycle shop here in town have had a steadfast rule since their inception many years ago.
They refuse to do any work whatsoever on motorised bicycles...Why, do you ask???...lol...Because most of them are falling apart because they were not built right and some were built on Electra Bikes...They ONLY sell and service Electra's...lol...And they know that aluminum frame pedal bicycles and motors do not mix.
I am the ONLY exception to the rule when I found the one thing I can no longer do myself due to old age and very bad arthritis...i needed to change out the front bicycle style fork to a triple tree fork on my bike and they said to me straight out that my bike is the ONLY motorised bike they will ever even look at, let alone do any sort of work on because I built it right.
They put that fork on for me after cutting it down and adapting it to the Hyper frame and it looks like the Hyper was built with it.
I haven't taken pics of it yet but plan to sometime this week to show off the new fork...By the way, that is also steel and they had me order it rather than they get one because they said their supplier only has aluminum and they will not put anything frame or fork wise aluminum on my motorised bike...They already know it won't stand up to being motorised.
